A card with micro-pennant

A "Happy New Year" card for my best friend.

Card has a shape of frame, I made it out of a pastel paper sheet, it measures about 13 by 15 cm (5" x 6"). Background is tinted with white pearl-tone to imitate some magical shimmer. =)Plain white punched snowflakes are falling... In the right corner there's an Xmas tree with gifts, in the upper left corner you can see my mini garland connected with some beads.The card was inspired by Veronica's photos of her Xmas tree =)The Xmas tree made out of wired chenille (or fine pipecleaner - as you like =)) ) embellished with red beads and silver star-sequins.Gifts are handmade too: a few boxes, a bag of candies and a tiny felted bear:I couldn't make myself glue this little buddy, so I fixed him with a pin. That bead in his bow is the pin head. Actually the bear can be taken out and be used as a little brooch. Not sure my friend will ever use him that way, but that's a possibility anyway =)And the garland I made with Pastila's garland challenge:Each pennant can be seen in details there:01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08 and 09, 10 and 11.Thanks for looking!По-русски тут есть
